Comment from Paul Borders
Wow, look at that meadow. The colors really set the tone for the poem. I enjoyed this. And love the end sentence... "memories of youth are stored like gold". I couldn't agree more. I visit my memories on a daily basis.

Comment from 4theloveoftrees
A lovely poem about Spring and I like the way you added references to youth and aging and that we hang onto a bit of "Spring".
I've only recently started playing with the advanced editor, however, I noticed I can make my changes there and then go back to the basic editor to make other changes, maybe that would help with your apostrophe?

Comment from Julie Sandy
A beautiful poem about spring, I really like your different approach seeing spring as a female like mother nature, bring beauty. But I don't feel like spring ends it just progresses into summer :-)
Thank you for sharing
Good luck in the competition

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Beautiful artwork and
nice presentation.
-I applaud you for writing
a sonnet for this contest.
-I like your premise in the
opening verses comparing
Spring to "Cinderella at the
Prince's ball."
-An excellent volta that
continues your theme with
the approach of the midnight
hour and the closing questions.
-The couplet ends the poem
very well, too.
-As to your question about
the apostrophe, the only thing
I can think of is maybe the added
space it would take made the
title too long.
-In the line beginning 'dew-sprinkled'
you have the font larger than the other lines.
-This is a very good entry,
deserving of a win in the contest.
-Good luck!!

I really enjoyed this ode to the many faces that Spring can wear. It is truly my favorite time of year and this contest and its entries let me know that many feel the same.
